It was that near loss that propelled Ann Marie toward a career in Respiratory Therapy, in hopes of teaching others how to excel in patient care. "I wanted to get into this line of work to put out better students and better patient care."\r\n\r\nUntil this point, Ann Marie had never considered teaching. She had gone to work in construction, mostly in a clerical capacity, right out of high school, and somehow 20 years passed. But, now she was on fire to find a way to make a difference in the lives of people who struggled to breathe.\r\n\r\nThere were not many options for an accredited Respiratory Therapy program in her area at that time. Ann Marie determined that SJVC offered the best program, so she went to the Rancho Cucamonga (now <a href="/campuses/southern-california/ontario" title="Click to learn more about SJVC''s Ontario Campus.">Ontario</a>) campus and met with <a href="/programs/medical-and-dental/respiratory-therapy" title="Click to learn more about SJVC''s Respiratory Therapy program.">RT Program</a> Director, Ricardo Guzman.\r\n\r\n"I definitely knew I wanted to do this program," says Ann Marie. "It was a lot the way we talked about what my goals were and how his expectations of students and my expectations for myself just lined up."\r\n\r\nThe hard road began. Ann Marie''s husband, Bill, traveled a lot for work, so their eldest daughter Felicia became "the mom of the family," says Ann Marie, "and drove her younger sister to school, and they made dinner and did chores." Still, it was a stressful time.\r\n\r\n"I just felt overwhelmed trying to manage family and going to school full time," says Ann Marie.

It was that near loss that propelled Ann Marie toward a career in Respiratory Therapy, in hopes of teaching others how to excel in patient care. "I wanted to get into this line of work to put out better students and better patient care."\r\n\r\nUntil this point, Ann Marie had never considered teaching. She had gone to work in construction, mostly in a clerical capacity, right out of high school, and somehow 20 years passed. But, now she was on fire to find a way to make a difference in the lives of people who struggled to breathe.\r\n\r\nThere were not many options for an accredited Respiratory Therapy program in her area at that time. Ann Marie determined that SJVC offered the best program, so she went to the Rancho Cucamonga (now <a href="/campuses/southern-california/ontario" title="Click to learn more about SJVC''s Ontario Campus.">Ontario</a>) campus and met with <a href="/programs/medical-and-dental/respiratory-therapy" title="Click to learn more about SJVC''s Respiratory Therapy program.">RT Program</a> Director, Ricardo Guzman.\r\n\r\n"I definitely knew I wanted to do this program," says Ann Marie. "It was a lot the way we talked about what my goals were and how his expectations of students and my expectations for myself just lined up."\r\n\r\nThe hard road began. Ann Marie''s husband, Bill, traveled a lot for work, so their eldest daughter Felicia became "the mom of the family," says Ann Marie, "and drove her younger sister to school, and they made dinner and did chores." Still, it was a stressful time.\r\n\r\n"I just felt overwhelmed trying to manage family and going to school full time," says Ann Marie. "Where I am now has to do with Tom Serrano (Director of Clinical Education) and Ricardo. They would not let me give up when I got discouraged; and kept pushing me further and further."\r\n\r\nWhen Ann Marie graduated, she received special honors for membership in the Lambda Beta Honor Society.\r\n\r\nAnn Marie and her family moved to North Carolina in 2006 where she worked as a Respiratory Therapist for a critical care hospital.

He is the one you reach out to when you need a ride to the airport, a buddy to help you with a weekend move, or someone to help you figure out how to get to that gopher digging up your yard.\r\n\r\nEnter Matt Harris. "I want people to be able to depend on me for anything," he says. "From giving advice, or calling you in the morning to wake you up for work; if you need help, I''m there to help."\r\n\r\nMatt finally focused his innate nature to help others, toward something a little closer to home: himself. "I wanted to go somewhere I could help myself and help others, as well."\r\n\r\nHe had spent 10 years as a crew member in the construction business where he diagnosed and treated properties for fire and smoke damage, as well as asbestos, mold and water destruction. In 2006, Matt supplemented that full-time position with a part-time server spot at a local restaurant.\r\n\r\nBut early memories of volunteering at the hospital where his mom, Cindy, worked in the billing department inspired Matt toward a new career direction in the service of others. He decided to give SJVC''s 7-month <a href="/programs/medical-and-dental/medical-assistant" title="Click to learn more about SJVC''s Medical Assistant program.">Medical Assisting certificate program</a> in <a href="/campuses/central-california/fresno" title="Click to learn more about SJVC''s Fresno Campus.">Fresno</a> a try.\r\n\r\nThe first few weeks were a struggle, even with help from his mom and sister, Shana. "I was nervous because I didn''t know how I was going to do," says Matt. He had not had a very good experience the first time he tried college after he graduated from high school.\r\n\r\n"It just didn''t give me the fulfillment I needed," says Matt. "SJVC encouraged me to work hard, and made me feel like part of the team, part of the family. The other college didn''t make me feel anything. That was a big difference."\r\n\r\nIn fact, Matt found a new place to focus a lot of his need-to-help energy by joining various campus clubs.\r\n\r\n"Matt volunteered for many on and off-campus events," says Christen Rodriguez, MA Program Director. "He was never willing to back down from a challenge, and as a member of the American Medical Technologist organization, he was always encouraging fellow students to get involved with campus events."\r\n\r\nMatt was in his element and breezed through the MA program with a 3.9 GPA and the respect of his peers and instructors.\r\n\r\nMatt graduated a year ago and started working right away for a local chiropractic office as a back-office assistant. He provides patient intake services and makes sure everything is correct and in place before the doctor sees the patient. He enjoys the medical environment and everyone he works with in this busy office.\r\n\r\n"I''m fine with where I am right now, just getting my feet in the water," says Matt. "With more experience comes more openings, you know?"\r\n\r\nYou might think that with Matt''s new career and full-time position, he might take things a little easier. But that is not his style. That ''helping'' thing and spirit of teamwork keep Matt in the middle of the action. He kept his part-time job at the restaurant out of loyalty and affection for everyone there, as much as anything else.\r\n\r\n"I haven''t had a day off in a long time," says Matt, who works 7 days a week. "Work is everything and is like my family. It keeps me motivated and happy."\r\n\r\nWhen Matt looks into his future, he doesn''t really see himself taking a vacation, slowing down or settling into a predictable routine that includes a lot of leisure. He does, however, see himself reaching higher in his career through more education.\r\n\r\n"I''m looking into a phlebotomy course," he says, "and X-ray certification."\r\n\r\nMatt''s least favorite part of going back to school is buckling down to the research of finding the right school and program. It is not an uncommon roadblock for those who want to further their education, but are not certain how to begin.\r\n\r\nMatt spent a lot of time online before he made his move to SJVC''s Medical Assisting program. Looking back, he feels the sacrifice was well worth the effort, and has some advice to share with others who want to get ahead, but who dread the process.\r\n\r\n"Just go for it, stay with it, and don''t let anything get you down," he says. "If you need help, get help; then just hang in there and everything will work out."\r\n\r\nMatt also knows that every bit as important as your effort is your mindset. "Go in with a good attitude, and you''ll come out with a better attitude."\r\n\r\nIf you are lucky, there will be someone around you like Matt, ready to give you a hand.', 'Medical Assisting grad thrives off helping others', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'open', '', 'medical-assisting-grad-thrives-off-helping-others', '', '', '2015-02-03 09:28:35', '2015-02-03 17:28:35', '', 0, 'http://www.sjvc.edu/?p=13497', 0, 'post', '', 0),

"I got really lucky because a lot of students who go through that door don''t have that kind of support."\r\n\r\nBut, in a male-dominated industry, how was Andria going to perform?

"Also, not a lot of people have a degree, so a degree means more here than in other industries."\r\n\r\nAndria was a great match for her new career. "When people think of the construction industry, they think of calloused hands, working in the dirt and too much sun," says Andria. "But, this is a management degree, so what you do is organize, direct and control the construction project."\r\n\r\nAndria stayed in touch with a few staff at the college and, after a couple of years, found herself doing a little substitute teaching in the Construction Management class.

"It is a privilege to have a faculty member with such an infectious, positive attitude, motivation and passion in whatever she is doing."\r\n\r\nTeaching full-time had its challenges for her.

Right when you walk into her classroom, she would say ''good morning'' and just give you the biggest smile ever. She never stops smiling, which is my favorite thing about her. Even within the hallways of the school, you would find her smiling. No matter where you find her, she would always smile. Whenever I would have a bad day, I would see her smile and that would make me smile. Ms. Clark does not put her attention on just one student but all of her students; even students she hasn''t taught or met. If something is not understood, she would explain in terms the students would understand. If she cannot find an answer, she would either let the students know that she would do research and come back with the answer the next day (she always follows through with that) or she would look for the answer with her own class and as a group they would come up with an answer. Ms. Clark constantly shows exceptional skills in being professional, being a leader, and in group activities as well. She would help students if they have personal problems they are dealing with and would try her best to make the student feel better. She puts her students first by putting herself in our shoes. Although she has only been working here for a couple months, she has already made a huge impact not only in my life but other students as well. Sometimes she gives us that extra motivation, inspiration, that extra push we need to keep going and not give up on our dreams. When one person tells us we cannot do something, there is Ms. Clark telling us we can. She is one of the best teachers on the campus. All of this is shown in her daily actions at school. I am so happy this school decided to hire her."<em> -Dalia, a student of Ms. Clark''s</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><img src="http://www.sjvc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Jillian-Ramirez-Pharmacy-Technology-Instructor-300x250.jpg" alt="Jillian Ramirez Pharmacy Technology Instructor" width="150" height="125" class="alignleft wp-image-13363" />Jillian Ramirez, Pharmacy Technology Instructor, Victor Valley (Hesperia) Campus</strong>\r\n\r\n"Mrs. Ramirez is an excellent instructor with a large measure of dedication and caring for her students and their success.

Right when you walk into her classroom, she would say ''good morning'' and just give you the biggest smile ever. She never stops smiling, which is my favorite thing about her. Even within the hallways of the school, you would find her smiling. No matter where you find her, she would always smile. Whenever I would have a bad day, I would see her smile and that would make me smile. Ms. Clark does not put her attention on just one student but all of her students; even students she hasn''t taught or met. If something is not understood, she would explain in terms the students would understand. If she cannot find an answer, she would either let the students know that she would do research and come back with the answer the next day (she always follows through with that) or she would look for the answer with her own class and as a group they would come up with an answer. Ms. Clark constantly shows exceptional skills in being professional, being a leader, and in group activities as well. She would help students if they have personal problems they are dealing with and would try her best to make the student feel better. She puts her students first by putting herself in our shoes. Although she has only been working here for a couple months, she has already made a huge impact not only in my life but other students as well. Sometimes she gives us that extra motivation, inspiration, that extra push we need to keep going and not give up on our dreams. When one person tells us we cannot do something, there is Ms. Clark telling us we can. She is one of the best teachers on the campus. All of this is shown in her daily actions at school.

She would help students if they have personal problems they are dealing with and would try her best to make the student feel better. She puts her students first by putting herself in our shoes. Although she has only been working here for a couple months, she has already made a huge impact not only in my life but other students as well. Sometimes she gives us that extra motivation, inspiration, that extra push we need to keep going and not give up on our dreams. When one person tells us we cannot do something, there is Ms. Clark telling us we can. She is one of the best teachers on the campus. All of this is shown in her daily actions at school.

"We don’t have football, homecoming and those kinds of things, so we have to be creative."\r\n\r\nFifteen CJC students participated in building the SJVC float – its first ever entry in the parade, now in its 69th year. "We built it completely on Saturday, and was in the parade the following Monday night," says Lathrop.\r\n\r\nThe Central Valley''s oldest nighttime parade began at 7:00 PM on December 1st and featured 107 floats and performances, such as marching bands, decorated vehicles and, of course, Santa and his helpers who tossed goodies from his huge bag. Visalia''s Main Street was packed with spectators, many of whom staked out prime viewing spots hours earlier and consider the Candy Cane Lane Parade the official kick-off to the Christmas season.\r\n\r\nThe CJC program float was number 88 in line; and nine student participants, dressed as elves, enthusiastically demonstrated how Santa''s best helpers hammer, saw and nail some of the special gifts that find their way under the trees of children all over the world. Surrounding the elves were beautifully wrapped presents, ready for loading onto Santa''s sleigh.\r\n\r\n"Our students felt some school pride and had a good time doing this," says Laura. "I''m proud of them and proud of the program," she says.\r\n\r\nKFSN TV-30 in Fresno interviewed SJVC float participants, as first-year entrants, and ran a news story on their morning show. "We got a lot of good comments about how the float looked," says Laura.\r\n\r\nThe quick turnaround from float build to parade provided an opportunity for the CJ team to learn a few things, too. "It''s trial and error, and you get better as you do it more," says Laura.

"We don’t have football, homecoming and those kinds of things, so we have to be creative."\r\n\r\nFifteen CJC students participated in building the SJVC float – its first ever entry in the parade, now in its 69th year. "We built it completely on Saturday, and was in the parade the following Monday night," says Lathrop.\r\n\r\nThe Central Valley''s oldest nighttime parade began at 7:00 PM on December 1st and featured 107 floats and performances, such as marching bands, decorated vehicles and, of course, Santa and his helpers who tossed goodies from his huge bag. Visalia''s Main Street was packed with spectators, many of whom staked out prime viewing spots hours earlier and consider the Candy Cane Lane Parade the official kick-off to the Christmas season.\r\n\r\nThe CJC program float was number 88 in line; and nine student participants, dressed as elves, enthusiastically demonstrated how Santa''s best helpers hammer, saw and nail some of the special gifts that find their way under the trees of children all over the world. Surrounding the elves were beautifully wrapped presents, ready for loading onto Santa''s sleigh.\r\n\r\n"Our students felt some school pride and had a good time doing this," says Laura. "I''m proud of them and proud of the program," she says.\r\n\r\nKFSN TV-30 in Fresno interviewed SJVC float participants, as first-year entrants, and ran a news story on their morning show. "We got a lot of good comments about how the float looked," says Laura.\r\n\r\nThe quick turnaround from float build to parade provided an opportunity for the CJ team to learn a few things, too. "It''s trial and error, and you get better as you do it more," says Laura. "We''ll build the float even better next year."\r\n\r\nNow, that is getting a jump on next year''s parade float plan.', 'Criminal Justice students float down Candy Cane Lane', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'open', '', '13330-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-12-08 16:19:24', '2014-12-09 00:19:24', '', 13330, 'http://www.sjvc.edu/13330-revision-v1', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

"It is my turn to give back to the United States of America and SJVC for helping me make my dreams come true by being the best PA I can be," said John.\r\n\r\nThe packed auditorium also heard from Vietnam veteran, Mike Chamberlain, who thanked all of the veterans in the audience who came before him and after him, for their service. "This type of celebration has been a long time coming," he said. "As a Vietnam veteran, I didn''t come home to celebrations like this," said Mike. "It is nice to know that Americans can separate the soldier from the conflict, and I am very moved by all this today."\r\n\r\nIn the mid 1960''s, it was evident that there was a shortage of physicians and other well-trained medical professionals to provide affordable and accessible medical care, especially to inner city and rural areas. Experienced battlefield medics and corpsmen returning from Vietnam were an ideal workforce to train as Physician Assistants.\r\n\r\nSince then, PAs have become a recognized and important member of the health care delivery team. "Today our community''s health care will be enhanced by returning veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq to continue within the conduct set forth by their brothers and sisters in uniform from previous theaters of engagement," reads a Certificate of Recognition honoring Veterans as Physician Assistants given to SJVC''s PA program by Assemblywoman Connie Conway''s office last year.  "We celebrate the service of our men and women in uniform who remain committed to keeping the health, welfare and safety of our country, as a Physician Assistant."\r\n\r\nThis celebration of Visalia campus PA vets was orchestrated by the PA Student Society Chairs: Mike Rodriguez (HOR delegate) and Ashley Parish (PA Class Vice President), with Student Society Advisor, Monica Urmson. The Criminal Justice Corrections program Color Guard, under the direction of Sharon Brown (CJC Program Director) performed.\r\n\r\nJed Grant, PA Program Director and Master of Ceremonies said, "It is important for PAs to understand the contributions made by veterans to the profession.

Their November issue will include an article honoring women veterans for a special Veteran’s Day tribute.\r\n\r\nIt seemed natural to connect with Michelle Obama, who is also spearheading "Joining Forces," which creates opportunities for civilians to support military families.\r\n\r\nIt all came together pretty quickly for Sonia, who barely made the nominations deadline in early July for the July 12th visit to the White House. Once she was selected as one of those women to help put a face and a story to the issue of unemployable female veterans, a background check for security clearance was performed…and she and the <em>Redbook</em> magazine crew were on their way to D.C.\r\n\r\nThe five veterans and their benefactors spent July 12th touring the most prominent sites of the Capitol before their special meeting with the First Lady. Treated like honored guests, the women enjoyed some time in the hair and make-up chairs and wardrobe fittings before the short walk to the White House.\r\n\r\n"It was pretty amazing," says Sonia, who had joined the Army as a small arms and artillery repair person right out of high school. "We were there for awhile, touring the White House, then meeting Michelle Obama and the photo shoot," says Sonia.\r\n\r\nIt wasn''t all fluff and posing for the camera, though.\r\n\r\n"We had a very intimate sit-down, as we all went around and told our stories," says Sonia. "It got pretty emotional, and we cried a little bit about what we went through."\r\n\r\nSonia found the First Lady to be very easy to confide in and was happy to know her strong position that no veteran should be hungry, homeless or unemployed.\r\n\r\nSonia, who deployed three times to Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq, and rose to sergeant, declared herself to be a "bad Mama Jama" to Mrs. Obama, who laughed and confirmed she was, indeed, a bad Mama Jama. "She was very affectionate and likes to hug," says Sonia.\r\n\r\n"I told her, when they want you to join the Army, they''re always, ''Want to join; want to join?,''" says Sonia. "But, now that you''re out, nobody''s calling you. She told us, ''You haven''t been forgotten, and we''re going to give some life to this issue.''"\r\n\r\nNone of the women who participated in this <em>Redbook</em> article were allowed to bring their cell phones to the meeting or photo shoot, neither were they allowed to take pictures. In fact, they were instructed to keep the entire magazine story confidential until publication.\r\n\r\n"I''m just now putting it out there on Facebook," says Sonia, who is released from its secrecy since the November issue of <em>Redbook</em> just came out.\r\n\r\n"Mom is super proud of me and wants to buy ten copies!" says Sonia, whose husband, Jefferson, and their young daughter and son share the excitement.\r\n\r\nMichelle Obama''s "Joining Forces" suggests a few ways the public can get involved in helping female vets in the job market*:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Mentor a female vet</strong>\r\nOffer help directly or become a mentor through the Business and Professional Women’s Foundation.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Find the veterans in your community</strong>\r\nAsk schools, congregation, and professional organizations if they have programs for veterans or military families.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Reach out to local military bases or publications if you are putting together an event to help vets</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nFor female vets:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Stay tuned for information on events in D.C. regarding "Joining Forces"</strong></li>\r\n	<li><strong>Go to a career event</strong>\r\n"Hiring Our Heroes" hosts job fairs all around the country; stay connected</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Get help online</strong>\r\nJoin the Linkedin group "Military-Civilian Career Coaching Connection" to get valuable feedback on your resume and connect with a coach to help with your job search</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Find a mentor</strong>\r\nSign up with the Business and Professional Women''s Foundations "Joining Forces Mentoring Plus"’ program to be matched with a mentor who can help you navigate the civilian job market.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSee Sonia''s story in <em>Redbook</em>’s November issue or by <a href="http://www.redbookmag.com/kids-family/blogs/mom-blog/why-we-should-hire-women-vets" title="SJVC student and veteran Sonia Whipp recently met First Lady Michelle Obama." target="_blank">clicking here</a>.\r\n\r\n<em>*"Joining Forces" excerpt from the Redbook website.</em>', 'Pharmacy Tech student meets First Lady', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'open', '', '13182-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-11-25 09:39:42', '2014-11-25 17:39:42', '', 13182, 'http://www.sjvc.edu/13182-revision-v1', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

The dozen or so RT Club members decided to raise money for Bear Hugs 4 Cubs in order to buy the needed components to assemble around 100 teddy bears for the young patients at Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera.\r\n\r\nExcited to make this happen, students threw themselves into soliciting local businesses for donations to help them make their goal. They made fliers and went out into the community to ask for contributions.\r\n\r\nThey raised close to $3,000 – enough to buy kits for 250 bears!\r\n\r\n“They did a great job,” says Brian Ruff, Director of Clinical Education for the <a href="/programs/medical-and-dental/respiratory-therapy" title="Learn about SJVC''s Respiratory Therapy program.">Respiratory Therapy (RT) program</a>. “This was a great opportunity for them to see how they could help somebody at a very trying time.”\r\n\r\nRT students worked with their local Build-a-Bear to purchase kits providing various bear features and components. Some children were able to build their own bear, but many more were assembled by student volunteers on campus who pitched in for those many children who would be unable to make such an effort. Each kit included an unstuffed bear, stuffing, a heart and a birth certificate for each child to name his or her bear.\r\n\r\n“It contained everything needed to make a snuggly new friend that will be there to help these brave little ones get through some difficult and scary experiences while in the hospital,” says Shawna Smith, RT student.\r\n\r\nRT student more than met their goal. “We want to thank Mr. Romero (RT instructor) for his support and guidance,” says Ruby Delgado, RT student. “He saw us struggle and sometimes wanting to give up, but he was there to support us; and thanks to him, we made it happen.”\r\n\r\nOn Tuesday, Oct. 14th six RT students made the trip to Valley Children’s Hospital to deliver their bounty to each child at the hospital. “We went into many rooms (except NICU) and talked to patients and their parents (some young patients were unaware or unable to speak),” says Shawna.\r\n\r\nAbout 25 young patients gathered in the hospital recreation room to enjoy building their own bears. Surrounded with their Build-a-Bear supplies, they were able to put their personal touches on their newest friend.\r\n\r\nCarrying a sign that read, "You are our Super Heroes!"

The dozen or so RT Club members decided to raise money for Bear Hugs 4 Cubs in order to buy the needed components to assemble around 100 teddy bears for the young patients at Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera.\r\n\r\nExcited to make this happen, students threw themselves into soliciting local businesses for donations to help them make their goal. They made fliers and went out into the community to ask for contributions.\r\n\r\nThey raised close to $3,000 – enough to buy kits for 250 bears!\r\n\r\n“They did a great job,” says Brian Ruff, Director of Clinical Education for the <a href="/programs/medical-and-dental/respiratory-therapy" title="Learn about SJVC''s Respiratory Therapy program.">Respiratory Therapy (RT) program</a>. “This was a great opportunity for them to see how they could help somebody at a very trying time.”\r\n\r\nRT students worked with their local Build-a-Bear to purchase kits providing various bear features and components. Some children were able to build their own bear, but many more were assembled by student volunteers on campus who pitched in for those many children who would be unable to make such an effort. Each kit included an unstuffed bear, stuffing, a heart and a birth certificate for each child to name his or her bear.\r\n\r\n“It contained everything needed to make a snuggly new friend that will be there to help these brave little ones get through some difficult and scary experiences while in the hospital,” says Shawna Smith, RT student.\r\n\r\nRT student more than met their goal. “We want to thank Mr. Romero (RT instructor) for his support and guidance,” says Ruby Delgado, RT student. “He saw us struggle and sometimes wanting to give up, but he was there to support us; and thanks to him, we made it happen.”\r\n\r\nOn Tuesday, Oct. 14th six RT students made the trip to Valley Children’s Hospital to deliver their bounty to each child at the hospital. “We went into many rooms (except NICU) and talked to patients and their parents (some young patients were unaware or unable to speak),” says Shawna.\r\n\r\nAbout 25 young patients gathered in the hospital recreation room to enjoy building their own bears. Surrounded with their Build-a-Bear supplies, they were able to put their personal touches on their newest friend.\r\n\r\nCarrying a sign that read, "You are our Super Heroes!" SJVC students gave teddy bears to at least 200 patients that day, who ranged in age from a few weeks to 16 years old.\r\n\r\n“We really promote student involvement in the community,” says Brian Ruff.

She met husband, Jefferson, while both were serving their country. In 2008, Sonia and Jefferson were able to come home to have their daughter, Ariana. Jefferson was deployed 3 weeks later and Sonia returned to military service 3 months after he left. She returned for a few weeks just before Ariana’s first birthday.\r\n\r\nSonia’s mom, Lucia, raised Ariana those first months of her life. “She was my hero, big time,” says Sonia, who realized that a military career could not give her what she needed to enjoy a family. When Sonia became pregnant with her son, Josiah, two years later; she knew it was time to leave the Army.\r\n\r\nHonorably discharged in March 2010, Sonia found a hard reality: The job market had little room for someone with her limited skills and education. But at 29 years old, she was determined to do everything she could to turn that reality around by using the GI Bill for veterans’ education.\r\n\r\nSonia enrolled in SJVC’s <a href="/programs/medical-and-dental/pharmacy-technology" title="Learn more about SJVC''s Pharmacy Technology program.">Pharmacy Technology program</a> on the <a href="/campuses/southern-california/ontario" title="Learn more about SJVC''s Ontario Campus.">Ontario campus</a>…and almost quit after the first month. “I was in class with 18-19 year olds, and I couldn’t learn as quickly as they could,” says Sonia. “And, I was eventually going to have to compete with them for a job. I was not sure if I was ready for it.”\r\n\r\nAn instructor helped her to overcome her fears and doubts, and Sonia went on to become an Honors student and a permanent fixture on the Dean’s List.\r\n\r\nAnother honor came her way in October when Sonia was invited to join four other female vets for a visit with Michelle Obama at the White House. Sponsored by <em>Redbook magazine</em> to promote hiring women military veterans across the nation, the meeting was a chance for real voices and stories to reach the public and consciousness of the nation. The White House "Joining Forces" campaign provides ways for the general population to help address employment issues for returning veterans.\r\n\r\n“It was amazing because you just kind of feel forgotten after you become a vet,” says Sonia, who felt reassured after her meeting with the First Lady and hearing what her team is planning to do to make re-entry into civilian employment easier. “She believes no veteran should ever be homeless, hungry or unemployed,” says Sonia.\r\n\r\n“Veterans bring several qualities from their military experience to the civilian workforce: Teamwork, leadership and commitment,” says Lisa Roybal. “Sonia is an example of a veteran who is looking to continue to be a valuable asset in the workforce.”\r\n\r\nSonia realizes that her own highest potential is through the education she has, literally, fought for. “We are told in the military not to ask for help,” she says. “But there is a real benefit from asking for the help that is out there.” Her Pharmacy Technology program degree will open doors to her future career.\r\n\r\nSonia’s greatest inspiration to keep pushing toward career success is her daughter, Ariana. “I want her to see that you can do it and can have great things for yourself, no matter where you are in life or what age you are,” says Sonia. “She doesn’t see it now, but when she gets older she will understand the big picture.”\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, Sonia is out there doing her part to throw some hotter lights onto a changing picture of veterans in the classroom and on the job.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://www.redbookmag.com/_mobile/kids-family/blogs/mom-blog/why-we-should-hire-women-vets" title="See Sonia''s story on Redbook." target="_blank">See Sonia’s story on Redbook.</a>', 'Ex-military mom faced a new battle on the job front', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'open', '', '13304-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-11-25 11:03:27', '2014-11-25 19:03:27', '', 13304, 'http://www.sjvc.edu/13304-revision-v1', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Successful completion of an articulated course assures the student and the faculty that the student has taken the appropriate course, received the necessary instruction and preparation, and is ready to progress to the next level.\r\n\r\nAn articulation agreement is simply a formal, written agreement between two institutions that allows specific programs or courses at one institution to be
